Traditionally, access to plugins has been restricted to members of the beta testing and development team. The development for these plugins is an ongoing process, but the code base is believed to be mature enough to be released to the public.

We hope that the availability of the code for these plugins will allow people to see what progress has been made on 0.4, what functionality is available, and how to similarly extend the functionality of the server by providing a full release such as this. Hopefully the open source nature of these plugins will also allow people to commit their own changes.
